BSOD Irq less than...

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4800+ 2.41Ghz
Motherboard: BFG nForce4 Ultra
Ram Speed, size and #sticks: 1gb, 2 sticks,
GPU: XFX NVIDA GeForce 6600 GT
PSU: Antec 500w
OS: Windows XP Pro

When does it typically happen?
Most often when I play Dungeons and Dragon Online​
What EXACTLY happens?
BSOD "irq_less_than..."​

And a history as well.
Been happening for over half a year.​
At one point, did your system work?
Unsure :(
Have you recently installed some new hardware/software?
Always this is a development box as well... but no matter what I did nothing seems to improve or make it worse.​

1. Before going any further, update the following:
Video card drivers: www.nvidia.com or www.ati.com
Motherboard chipset drivers: go to your motherboard maker’s website
motherboard and video card are all Nvidia, Unified Driver Architecture (UDA)
2. Check your Event Log
nothing found other than 3. Auto reboot on error and reporting minidumps
mini dumps attached
4. Power supply issues
Antec PSU is reportedly good stuff, 500w reportedly should be enough
5. System temperatures
Hmontior reports good temperatures, speedfan doesnt seem to support my hardware as the temperatures were crazy wrong, some below freezing and some above boiling.
6. Undo Recent Changes to your system
None to really do has been giving blue screens for quite awhile
7. Faulty Ram / Dying ram
Ran memtest all night something like 45 passes and no errors reported
 
All of your minidumps have the same symptoms and it is symptom of device driver error.

You have nvatbus.sys and nv4_disp.dll (ie nVidia display card driver) at different version. Probably nVidia Display Card Driver screw up your windows.

What's the wisdom on getting my driver's straight?

goto
BFG for the mobo driver
goto xfx for the video card driver
hmmm... seems as though I already did that..

could it just be a funky mobo/video card combination?

anyone's thoughts on that?
 
All the dumps were crashed with exactly the same instruction and this is symptom of software error or firmware error of the BIOS. Maybe the culprit is the firmware of the BIOS. Anyway it is no harm to upgrade the BIOS may resolve the blue screen.
 
I appreciate your advice, I already did upgrade the bios as well... but forgot to mention it above...

I think I'm gonna give up and rebuild this system, using an extra mobo I have laying around.
 
As you've upgraded the the firmware of the BIO, rebuild windows will resolve the blue screen problem.
